More details to this question:
An improperly maintained and unsecured soccer goal fell on my son's head, giving him a concussion, fractured skull, and possible permanent hearing loss in his ear. The school did not call the ambulance and has given me 4 different stories on what occurred. The pediatrician has reported the school to DFCS.

You could have a claim against the school. However, more facts need to be analyzed. What city and county did this occur in?
